SPILLER TIME IN RALEIGH!
THE COLLEGE GAME OF THE WEEK had the Clemson Tigers, behind another strong performance from C.J. Spiller defeated the NC State Wolfpack 43 to 23. Spiller threw a TD pass, had a rushing TD and caught a pass for a TD in the game. Spiller also had 97 yards rushing in the game as well. The Tigers jumped to a 24 to 7 halftime lead and never looked back as they moved one step closer to wrapping up the ACC Atlantic Division Title. Freshman QB Kyle Parker had another very good game as he continues to improve as the season progresses. It was probably the most efficient offensive game of the season for the Tigers as they executed flawlessly and work man like with no turnovers. The Tigers need to get the kicking game fixed as they missed two more extra points. After hitting 116 straight extra points they have missed five the last two games. The Tigers now get ready for their home game Saturday against Virginia on Senior Day with a chance to wrap up the Atlantic Division Title with a win over the Cavaliers.
DID YOU KNOW? Against NC State on Saturday, C.J. Spiller became the first player in Clemson football history to throw a TD, rush for a TD and catch a TD in the same game.
THE HIGH SCHOOL GAME OF THE WEEK had the Pageland-Central Eagles getting a controversial fumble by the Chesnee Eagles that they turned into the winning points in a 20 to 13 victory in their second round playoff game Friday night. The fumble in question was called when Chesnee's Zack Miller appeared to have a first down at the Central 20 yard line late in the 3rd quarter as the play appeared over. The ref said it was a fumble saying that he was on top of a defender and not on the ground. Central scooped up the fumble and returned it deep into Chesnee territory and completely changed momentum in the game. Chesnee's season ends in heartbreaking fashion at 7 and 5. Central, the defending 2A upper state champion, goes to 10 and 2 and will host Strom Thurmond Friday.
SURPRISING UPSETS OF HIGH SCHOOL PLAYOFFS had the Spartanburg Vikings, that went 3 and 8 during the regular season, going to Rock Hill and defeating the 11 and 0 Rock Hill Bearcats 41 to 28.
The unbeaten 11 and 0 Woodruff Wolverines lost to the 7 and 4 Batesburg-Leesville Panthers 24 to 17. So we will not have a Woodruff and Abbeville round two this Friday as expected.
THE NFL GAME OF THE WEEK had the surprising Cincinnatti Bengals going into Pittsburg and beating the World Champion Steelers at their own game 18 to 12. The Bengals used a strong physical defense that kept pressure on QB Ben Roethlisberger and held the Steelers to four field goals. The Cincinnati Bengals are now sitting all alone at the top of the AFC North Division at 7 and 2.
THE ARMCHAIR COACH went 15 and 5 in game predictions this past weekend. Record for the season is 163 and 53 for a percentage of .755.
Until Wednesday.
